The unforgettable friendships, the endless summers, and the nights we tore it up. Now, it’s our chance to shine as we take our first steps into the real world. Although it may not seem like it now, we will remember these days at South Windsor High School as some of the best days of our lives. We were the class that brought the life back to this school. We left our mark on SWHS and we will never be forgotten. Whether we realize it or not, we have all grown together over these past four years. As we leave South Windsor and go on into the future, whatever path that may be, remember the school that shaped us to who weVe become, and always continue “Tearirf it Up.” T)ediication Teacher Ms. Henchey Andrea Henchey was bom in Hartford, CT on January 11, 1979.

While I’ll miss everyone at the school, I’m thrilled I’ll have the time to really focus on my poetry.” Although Ms. Henchey will be greatly missed next year, it is clear to see the impact she has had on her students.
